1. being wise does not mean you will be any happier, for happiness is not a measure of righteousness.
2. being wise lowers your self esteem, because you know exactly how much of a foll you have been in the past.
It follows that a culture that worships happiness and self esteem is not interested in wisdom and generally asks God for Mercedes-Benzen rather than the ability to discern right from wrong.

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. James 1:5
